| Diversity Focus |
|
Identifying and recruiting diverse candidates shapes our approach. Our vast
network affords us the  opportunity
to access formal and informal contacts to broaden the research base. Additional
emphasis is placed on research to identify diverse candidates. As a result, our
focus reaches beyond individuals in a specific industry or functional area.
JobPlex is made up of a diverse group of consultants who recognize the strength
and benefits to a diverse workforce. We have consultants from many industries,
many ethnicities, various years of experience levels, various functional
backgrounds, and large and small company backgrounds. We identify well with
other companies that have a strategic diversity management plan in place and a
diversity hiring initiative. Our approach to diversity as it relates to
recruiting is to keep a laser focus on the requirements of the job when
qualifying candidates and to be as creative as possible when identifying
recruitment sources. In doing so, we create the largest pool of qualified
candidates. We have experience recruiting for the Federal Government on
projects where diversity requirements were mandatory and closely monitored. We
can bring this same methodology to client projects as needed.
At JobPlex, we are acutely aware of the positive impact a diverse organization
can have in a global business environment. We consult with senior leaders in a
variety of industries in addressing diversity and inclusion issues and the
formulation of strategies and practices that ensure the recruitment and
retention of high potential individuals. To that end, we view a diverse talent
pool as a recruiting advantage and through our extensive network of
professional, educational, trade and community organizations, are able to
identify successful, creative and innovative candidates.
